Manu explains how this format allows restaurants to move people emotionally, which is the key to any art form. At La Casa de Manolo Franco, they offer a menu that symbolically recreates a day in the mountains of Madrid, from breakfast to dinner, and the desserts are dishes rooted in memories that tell a story: that of a place, a family, an emotion.
